the center design of the quilt is (Another by Anita) design from Anita Bradshaw
here is a link to her website:
www.AnotherByAnita.com
she has lots of wonderful stained glass patterns-
the rest of the quilt i made up.
the hearts where quite a challenge---i drew one onto copy paper- & when i had it how i thought it would 'work' i sent it to work with my hubby asking him to blow it up to be about 1/2" wide between the lines- he got it about perfect! the dragonflies are about 6" across.
it took me most of a day to figure out how to make the corners line up- work- once i created the heart corners with (homemade) fusable bias strips--it was a challenge & had it's frustrating -just walk away- moments---but when i finally figured out how to add the 1/4" wide stripes around the borders & line up with the heart lines- it all came together- i almost didn't add the dragonflies- was originally going to just use them as a quilting design---but then thought there was just too much empty space & when i cut one out & laid it on the quilt top i liked it so went ahead and made 3 more.
